Feel free to TOUCH GRASS

in Thuringia's parks and gardens

Parks are all the same or so you might think. Lawns, scattered trees, benches and flower beds. Done.
But if you take the time to explore Thuringia's parks and gardens, you can look forward to lovely experiences, surprising insights and special moments. Untold stories and historical references. Architecture and horticulture. Reconciling cityscapes with nature. But also: the sparkle of the sun on the surface of the water, the stories behind exotic giant trees, magnificent plants or eye-catching sculptures. And countless little miracles of nature. It's worth taking a closer look. Because the world looks very different in Thuringia's parks and gardens. Free time is there to explore fresh perspectives – far away from deadlines and to-do lists. Perfect – because exploration needs focus, peace and quiet, a change of perspective to experience something special. To see the world with new eyes. To calm down. Become an explorer.

You view nature consciously, enjoy slow moments and find joy in simplicity. Parks for you are little islands of serenity where the world stops for a moment and you can return to your true self.
